Paragraph Writing | Digital Resource
Paragraph writing is an important skill for students to learn.
An awareness of different forms of writing is just as important!
That’s why I created my Paragraph Writing resource (which is DIGITAL by the way!). Through the resource, students are introduced to 6 different forms of writing… as well as paragraph writing. I am all about killing two birds with one stone!
The forms of writing I cover are:
- Recounts
- Procedural
- Persuasive
- Narrative
- Reports
- Explanatory
Model Writing
This video shows how teachers can use the resource to introduce new forms of writing to students. Start with explicit instruction and a lot of modelling:
All the lessons and examples are done for you! It doesn’t get better than that!
Students’ Turn
The scaffolding really helps students master the skill of writing a well thought out paragraph. It’s important to provide students the time to go through all the stages of the writing process:
- Pre-Writing (a crucial step!)
- Draft
- Revise
- Edit
- Publish
The resource is designed in a way that allows students to go through all these important stages in the same slide!
Here is a preview of how students would use the Paragraph Writing Resource:
Accommodations
Whether you have students needing accommodations or not, using Google Read & Write will benefit all students. It’s a true example of Universal Design and it can really help with the revise and edit stage of writing.
The following video demonstrates how students can use these tools:
Sharing Options
This resource has about 85 slides in it (I know, AMAZING!!). It’s a full year resource and has enough prompts to give students PLENTY of options to choose from.
I prefer assigning the entire file to students so they can use it as a “digital notebook”. I know that some teachers might want to chunk it into sections. Here is a video showing you how to do that:
